A Teacher and Trainer by Nature

 

Dr. Abdul Raziq Kakar had been delivering pieces of training to the livestock keepers in a far-flung region for sustainable but efficient livestock production and other valuable practices to ensure food security, livelihood, and fetch markets for niche products. He’s the author of the Indigenous Livestock Breeds, Livestock Production Systems, and Indigenous Knowledge of the Tribal People in Balochistan Province, Cholistan, and the Thar Desert. Dr. Raziq had been traveling with the Afghan nomads (Kochis) to document their livestock genetic resources, indigenous knowledge (treatment and husbandry), and the lifestyle of the pastoral people.
In recent years, Dr. Raziq delivered many (physical & online) lectures/training sessions globally. He is the ToT of the LEGS program and verified international livestock expert by the IFAD and UN FAO. Dr. Raziq is advocating and promoting the camel as a sustainable dairy animal through consultancies and training.

The Native Livestock Breeds need to be Redefined and Redocumented

Dr. Abdul Raziq Kakar had been working with the pastoral people since 2004 while characterizing & documenting and reporting the livestock breeds and indigenous knowledge, especially related to the camel. He has already characterized, documented, and reported breeds of sheep, goat, cattle, and camels which were not discovered before. The time has reached to redefine the role of native livestock breeds, especially the long-walking livestock, spreading the seeds, and revitalizing the soil fertility and nature.

Camel is my Core World

Dr. Raziq precisely compiled a very valuable manuscript covering diverse aspects of dromedary camels. Camel! A-One in All Creatures. A very recent development is the advocacy for camels and its headers as ‘Camels4Life’. Al-Ain doctor sees potential in camels beyond their milk. I have been advocating camel as a hope of food security for the dry and drought-stricken regions of the world under the climate change scenario. I’m the chair of the advocacy group camel4life International, organizing a WhatsApp group and a website; http://camel4all.info
